entertainment">At the desk RTL Boulevard let the crime journalist know “not to be surprised” about last weekend’s riots. “I also don’t understand the surprise of a lot of people. Such as Rutte, which also says ‘what are these people thinking?’. I think it starts with the fact that you don’t understand, or don’t want to understand. Of course I disapprove of it one hundred percent, I think it’s horrible to see. But what we see is, say, a radical tip of a larger iceberg of people who no longer have support for what is currently happening in the Netherlands. ”
entertainment">According to De Vries one is ‘frustrated with the curtailment’. “About the fact that they can no longer do anything, are no longer allowed to do anything. And that they, now their feelings, also find insufficient response. They are looking for an outlet. And, again, it is wrong. But I think this is an explanation for that. I don’t think you can avoid it completely. A small group is radicalizing, it becomes violent, but below that is a large group of people who say: ‘I no longer believe in it. I can not handle it any longer. I think it is being done wrong. ‘”
Veronica Inside
entertainment">The program maker compares the disturbances with the coronation riots of 1980. “I witnessed the riots in Amsterdam forty years ago. That was supposedly about the housing shortage that was there. But it was actually the youth, or a group of people, who said, “Your authority is not our authority. And we revolt against that. ‘ And then of course you can disapprove, and we all do, but if you just say ‘I don’t understand anything about it’ or ‘what gets those people into it’, then you will never end it. ”

entertainment">De Vries’ statements also reached the men of Friday evening Veronica Inside, who then shed their light on the situation. As a presenter Wilfred Genee On Johan Derksen the statement ‘the cabinet does not feel what is going on among young people’, says the football analyst: „Peter is very, very right about that. The cabinet does not have both feet in society. You don’t think that Piano in Jetten ever venture into circles like this? And the rest, by the way. But of course it is not a license to do whatever you want. Because we hadn’t thought possible that crazy people would come up with the idea of smashing windows at hospitals? ”
Caps and hoods
entertainment">Accompanied by René van der Gijp De Vries does not have to calculate. “I don’t really believe in what Peter R. de Vries says. I do believe that there is something going on with that youth, but that is not the youth with those caps and hoods trying to pelt the ME with stones. I don’t believe in that. They are just looking for riots. That was also the case a while ago at the Malieveld. That they suddenly came from the station, with whole groups. And that they attacked that ME. I don’t believe it is people with corona in their stomach. ”
